October | Monthly Top 5

Hola!

Before I begin, happy halloween! I don't think I've ever been more exited for halloween than I was this year. I think it's because I put a lot of effort into my makeup this year (pictures on my instagram). I was considering doing tutorials leading up to halloween, but decided that I didn't have the time, sadly. I might consider it next year if I pre-film them over the summer, what do you guys think? Anyway, I'll leave halloween behind now and get started on my top 5 products from october.

I discovered the other day that my local Superdrug stopped selling MUA, but they still sell it online which is good. I like this blush because it's very pale and natural looking. It also has some highlighter, which adds a nice sheen but still looks really natural.

I bought this a few weeks back hen I had a major greasy-hair disaster, and I'm very impressed. It left my hair almost freshly washed, which is fab! It's the first dry shampoo I've tried, and I really like it. It does leave a white residue if you don't massage it in, so don't use it in a hurry! On the plus side, this fragrance is really nice and fresh, if a little heavy. Overall, I would recommend it.

I stumbled across this in store other day and instantly loved it. For one thing, how cute does it look?! None of their other soaps look this amazing, just this one. And then there's the smell. Oh. My. It smells so good!! When I use it, my hands smell amazing, and it makes my bathroom smell good too! I really love it and completely recommend at least smelling it!

I bought this instead of an eye primer to use on Halloween as I thought I'd get more use from it and I'm very happy I did. The swatch on my hand genuinely lasted 24 hours, even through washing my hands (obviously). I like this colour, I thinks it's really wearable, you could dress it up or down, all over the lid or on the crease. It's a really great eyeshadow, I would recommend it loads!

I've been looking looking for a good pair of ankle boots for a while now, when I found these on a second-hand shopping app called Vinted. I've been a little addicted to shopping apps recently (it's just as well I don't have a credit card.....) I got them for about £8 ish including postage, which I think is a great deal. When they arrived I was very excited and instantly fell in love! The heel height is perfect for me, the colour is great as they go with anything, the fur around the top looks super cute and they're really cosy for winter. I've work them twice so far and I love them so so much! If you can find a pair similar, I would highly, highly recommend them! Autumn winter staple for sure!
